Loading... Tourist Season (1986)by Carl Hiaasen
None. Heartbreaking. This is not a comedic book. It's the Florida cautionary tale. I bawled at the end. If you are new to Hiaasen, start here at the beginning. All of his later works pale in comparison. (  ) MaryEDawson | May 20, 2013 |  A solid introduction to the bizarre world of Carl Hiassen, but without the bit of humanity that he brings to later book. Representative of his type of humor - if you enjoy it, read on with the series; if not, probably should find something else.

I like how the author skewers pretty much everyone lazydog | Oct 8, 2012 | Frankly I was bored with this novel for the first four chapters. Eventually I started to understand the story line and it became a can't put down type of novel. The main idea of the novel is that tourists and those who go from tourist to homeowners can inspire real estate people to wreck havoc on the environment as they try to make a fast buck. The villians in this novel are basically people who want to protect nature from those who want to destroy it. Their solutions, are what makes this an interesting book. Who are the real villians in this story might make you expend some extra brain power, but it is worth the effort. ( ) Richard43 | Jul 15, 2011 | no reviews | add a review
